Lots of Fun and Educational Experience
Great way to spend the day, a tour that will not disappoint. Our morning and most of day was spent off resort enjoying Downtown Vallarta Food Walking Tour with tour guide Joana. This was great fun and educational. Loved seeing Romantic Zone Lazaro Cardenas Park Gazebo and Art . We visited 8 or 9 food/ drink locations which we would likely never see or visit. The highlight is tortilla making shop learning / witnessing entire process and details of how roadside vendors operate as well as some of their restrictions/ laws. We experienced great nibbles and drinks which were more than sufficient by tour end. Stop 1 Sonorita for Chilaquiles with great sauces and hibiscus drink. Stop 2 was Birrieria Robles for tasty pork tacos and sides. Stop 3 was Agua DeCebada, wonderful tasty juices ( 5 flavors) that were ice cold and excellent. One was local favorite with cinnamon and other items that had slight flavor similar to eggnog. The plum and passion fruit were my favorite. Stop 4 Restaurante Mar de Vallarta for shrimp carnitas and sauces. Stop 5 Mariscos El Guero for octapus and guacamole. Stop 6 Tortillerias La Authentica to witness tortilla making. Stop 7 Paleteria Villasenor for very tasty popsicles and finally Stop 8 Gabys for some chicken enchilada with mole. We also visited Vallarta Factory for tasty chocolate and some education on chocolate making process. Thank you Joana, I will not hesitate to take another food tour with your company.
Highly recommend
Joane was a great tour guide. We got an authentic experience of Puerto Vallarta street food. We had 8 different stops with an additional treat at a bakery. She is passionate about food and the Mexican culture. Highly recommend!

A Must Try To Discover Local Gems
Joane our tour guy was so amazing. So warm, friendly, and patientl. She answered all the questions and even got extra things such as cactus fruit for people who said they’ve never tried it. It wasn’t even part of the tour. She just did a lot of those little extra things that set the tour apart from others. The place we visited were very local and you really get to discover these gems that you might otherwise not have the courage to step in and try. We were full by the time we were done, but I also got a lot of information regarding the city. I would highly recommend this tour and if possible request Joane as a guide.
